Didier Drogba's 'insult' bust-up

Didier Drogba seemed to pretend to be quaking at the prospect of facing Benfica in the last eight.

The Chelsea star is in the firing line after he was filmed appearing to mock the threat of the Portuguese side.

Chelsea’s own TV channel zoomed in on the Ivorian at the training ground as it filmed the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Drogba seemed to pretend to be quaking at the prospect of facing Benfica in the last eight.

The footage was shown on THREE national TV stations in Portugal and incensed the home club’s fans, who saw it as disrespectful. Benfica boss Jorge Jesus said: “Who knows what he was thinking? He might just have been joking, we don’t know.

“But Portuguese clubs have eliminated both Manchester United and Manchester City, the top two teams in the Premier League, so that should act as an indication of the strengths of Portuguese football.

“Any response to Didier Drogba we’ll give out on the field tomorrow.”

BOSS Roberto Di Matteo revealed last night that Chelsea could ask the FA to move their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley against Tottenham or Bolton forward to Friday April 13 from April 15.

The Blues could be playing in the Champions League semis on April 18 and Di Matteo said: “We are engaged on this matter, but ultimately someone has to make the decision. Let’s get through this tie first.”
